1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Mutations in exon 12 of the nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene occur in about 60% of adult AML with normal karyotype. By exploiting a specific feature of NPM1 mutants, that is insertion at residue 956 or deletion/insertion at residue 960, we developed highly sensitive, real-time quantitative (RQ) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, either in DNA or RNA, that are specific for various NPM1 mutations. In all 13 AML patients carrying NPM1 mutations at diagnosis, cDNA RQ-PCR showed >30 000 copies of NPM1-mutated transcript. A small or no decrease in copies was observed in three patients showing partial or no response to induction therapy. The number of NPM1-mutated copies was markedly reduced in 10 patients achieving complete hematological remission (five cases: <100 copies; five cases: 580-5046 copies). In four patients studied at different time intervals, the number of NPM1 copies closely correlated with clinical status and predicted impending hematological relapse in two. Thus, reliable, sensitive RQ-PCR assays for NPM1 mutations can now monitor and quantify MRD in AML patients with normal karyotype and NPM1 gene mutations.
